the second plant decided to lay down after watering, but instead of dumping it, i decided to give it a chance. also.. realized the plants were too small for the current light distance, so they got a little (9") boost from below

got a minor light upgrade (now its 5600 lumens), since lifting the plants was working and the weaker ones started to grow/heal 1 plant decided to turn back to ground, so instead of waiting it to escape on the bottom, i threw it out (rip) this time watering went very well (maybe too well again, hehe), no plants turned/tilted. the second plant doesnt need the stick anymore, its getting back in shape (i hope its a girl as well... ) the biggest plant started to have some slight skunk-like smell topped the two biggest plants

the biggest plant was transplanted to a way bigger pot (7 times bigger) and a stronger substrate -- few more days before the second one will follow (giving it time to be rootbound as well.. :)) ) its already crowded here, so with the next transplant, ill make the flower tent active as well (with 18-6 schedule) (i planted 8 seeds, since there was a slight chance for germination.. (bagseeds), look at me now.. struggling with the number of the plants, and already threw out 1...) :) topped all the plants, except the smallest one the biggest one transferred under the HPS (18-6 schedule) the remaining 4 plants got a microdose of cal-mag with their regular watering threw out the smallest as well, i gave it 1,5 months, there were no significant change in the past few days / weeks. (rip)

continue topping the nodes where its necessary, (seeking for a potent clone material, so leaving the lower nodes intact) increasing the calmag dose for all plants the biggest, transplanted plant started to wake up after a few days, and continuously reaching for that 15000 lumen

nutrient and heat burn showed on plants, so until recovery, i stopped giving them additional nutes (ec is sky high anyways, thx tap water) -- few days only i messed again with the ventilation, the temperature is stable during day and night time as well the bigger plant in the small tent started to look like, its a boy.. ill give it few more days to develop concrete evidence.

It does appear to be a male but I would still give it another 4-5 days to be sure. If you see white stigma (hairs) popping out, you'll know it's a girl. If they don't or you start getting bunches (like grapes), you'll know it's a male. The pollen sacks are a long way from maturity if that's what they are. As long as you're careful removing it, you won't have to worry about pollination. The sacks aren't anywhere near bursting (naturally).

started a nutrient free week, but for the further watering, ill continue giving them the mixation above my suspicion was correct, the male one was cut in the half (we are not making seeds here (at least, onpurpose)) took a clone from the biggest plant (by accident :D)
